EPSG:22275 Cape / Lo15
Projected system (Transverse Mercator (South Orientated)) in use: Namibia - Walvis Bay. The full definition below, and conversion in one click.
EPSG publishes no simple transformation to WGS 84 for this datum: conversion works on the ellipsoid alone and can be off by tens of metres.
